glen Tuesday for the second The weather was a little cee ay and the racing, too, was certainly of a somewhat higher order than on the first day, but at that it could not honestly be called anything like first-class.
The big race of the day was the Derby and those who allowed themselves to be persuaded off Social Union because of its earlier defeat over a lesser distance had reason to regret it. Many were attracted by the sterling performance of Chalcacite in the race for the Shanghai Race Club Cup, but this counted for nothing. Social Union's record was too good for anything else to have a real chance and when Mr. Burkill let the bonny grey out in the straight it simply cantered away from Great Eastern and Finchfield.
However, the most striking performance of the day was Shenkoland's win in the Wokingham Stakes. The combination of such a speedy sprinter as Shenkoland and the brilliant riding son of a canny training father had to prevail. Mr. Vida again attempted a runaway on Kowloon, but this time the royal blue jacket was always within fighting distance and coming home Shenkoland won as it pleased in the good time of 1 min. 51 sec.
